Weekly WordPress Meeting?

From Arieanna Foley’s interview with Matt Mullenweg, which Matt pointed to:

All of the documentation is user-generated in a wiki using the same software that Wikipedia does, called Mediawiki. For communication between developers we use AIM, lots of mailing lists and email, and an IRC channel that has chats 24/7 and a weekly IRC meeting.

Whoa. I’m thinking that minutes of a weekly IRC meeting would be awesome, and that a monthly IRC session with developers—if you can coordinate them all to have time at the same time—would be awesome. Based on my experience with our Derek Webb chats, I’m thinking a moderated discussion with the developers all being voiced at all times would rule, with an open backchannel for discussion and person-to-person for people interested in being voiced to ask questions.

Just a suggestion for a monthly, but publishing weekly minutes would be great. After all, this is open source …

    Yeah, like that. :) Be nice to have the minutes published with WordPress or something RSS/Atom-aware so that people know when the minutes are out.
